Hi

I'm a zsh-user since like forever and use cygwin for a several years
now. Every now and then when I made an update to my cygwin-environment
(on an Win2k platform with NTFS) I had issues with the newest
version when it came to running make. It either looped forever
or just hung somewhere.

I usually could get rid of that by downgrading either the cygin-lib
itself or zsh or both, then waiting 1-2 months and then update again
and then it usually worked. But this kinda gets tiring. :) (and atm
the current cygwin/zsh combination has issues for me again - at least
the ones one month ago... didn't check today yet ;)

Most of my co-workers already switched to using bash, since there never
was an issue with it. Now I could do that too but I love zsh. ;)

Anyone else experiencing this? Comments? Ideas? Shrieking epitaphs?

Sargon

PS. Yeah, I could just not update my cygwin environment but once in a
while I want a new package and then I'd like to update all the stuff. :)
